Days Inn Dover

A good basic motel at a fair price. The room was clean, sheets were clean & the tv worked. That’s all I needed to be happy!
The wallpaper style & some décor shows the building’s age, but for me it only added to the flair of staying in a hotel clearly built in the 60s-​70s.
When I showed up my room had already been cleaned, so I was able to check in early. BONUS!
All good by me!

What you see is what you get – economy digs for a low cost.
Probably I’d give this place four stars if we didn’t have to wait outside for 10 minutes in the cold when we arrived. I can’t fault the desk clerk – he was the only one on duty and had to do other things. But management might want to consider not over-​economizing and having more than one person on duty. We had to wait for the clerk to return while we’re standing outside at 10pm in the cold New Hampshire weather.
The pool is nice and a hit with the kids. The rooms themselves are fairly spacious, though the bathrooms could use some updating.
I probably won’t come back unless I can get an interior room, though. We were outside, so it was cold getting to and from our room. Also, every musclehead in New England seemingly tramps by our room shouting at children or yelling into their cell phones when we’re trying to sleep. For a few extra bucks I’ll go to a hotel with a better layout.

I am from NY and I enjoyed my stay at the Days Inn in Dover. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is pretty limited, but still good. However, the woman at the front desk was extremely miserable and made me want to switch hotels as soon as I walked in. I wouldn’t be surprised if she scared customers away frequently, she is one of the rudest people I’ve run into in my stay in the state of NH. Other than that, the room was fine but Hotels are supposed to be centered around hospitality and this woman has no idea what that is.

The first thing that one notices about this place is that it’s an older property. That alone shouldn’t be cause for a low rating, however. The staff is extremely friendly and capable, the room was clean, and the price was reasonable for the area and type of motel.
I didn’t use the pool or try the continental breakfast, so can’t comment on those.
I would definitely stay here again if I were to return to Dover.

I stayed here when I came up for my sister’s wedding in July. The front desk people were all great and I received a call to make sure my room was fine.
Nothing special in the room but the bed was good (softer than I’m used to) the free wifi is only for 24 hours and I didn’t try to ask for another code card. My only complaint was the parking lot filled up on both nights by the time I returned and I had to park away from my room.
The motel offers free continental breakfast which is nice if your watching your wallet but there are options close by and a short walk if you want to explore the town. There is an indoor pool and they mentioned a sauna near the office which I didn’t have an opportunity to use.
Overall, it was a good stay and would go there again if I just need a basic room for a short stay.

This place is horrendous. Just because it’s 13 degrees outside doesn’t make it acceptable for it to be 35 degrees in a hotel room. The heating system is completely useless. I was told «it may take a while» for it to warm up. Well, I waited an hour and was still freezing my pale yet shapely ass off. For the price this place charges, this is not acceptable. If they were charging $ 30/​night, I’d say wtf, suck it up, throw on like 7 bubble jackets and thug my way through the night, but at their prices??? Hellllll naw!
The rooms look like a slightly spruced up crack spot, and the guy at the front desk was damn near unintelligible.
I am writing this review mostly so I don’t forget how crap this place is. If the rest of you heed this warning, you can thank me later like Drake.
The extra star is because I was not exposed to any physical harm, and was given the opportunity to try (albeit unsuccessfully) to find a room above 40 degrees inside.

Quaint place in Dover, NH.
I stayed here for about $ 75/​night in mid-​April. The room was clean. No problems there. I can’t really complain or rave about this place. No frills, but very solid choice, hence the 3 stars. The ladies at the front desk were very nice and down to earth. They also told me they had renovations recently, which was surprising because the buildings didn’t look recently renovated.
Continental breakfast consisted of apple, orange, cranberry juice, bagels, cooked eggs, toast, waffle maker, etc. Their wi-​fi service is free, but complicated because they give you a scratcher with a password and is only valid for 24 hours.
Will definitely come back here if I’m looking for a place that’s cheaper than other options and a comfortable place to sleep at night!

My family planned to stay here for parents weekend at UNH in one of their suits. However, the place was disgusting. All the rooms smelled like mold and were dirty. The front desk staff was very friendly but we asked for a full refund and stayed at the Hampton.

By most standards, it was a two-​star hotel, but props to Manager Joy and a friendly staff making my stay impediment-​free, so that’s one reason for the bonus star. Everything was clean and tidy; bonus-​star reason two. The location was freaking awesome! I could walk to everywhere the cool kids were hanging out, and I created a terrific 5K running route out my door. Final bonus-​star reason is that I had a corner room in the executive building, so I had nice natural light. My A/​C was a champ in the early Spring weather for quick cool downs.
I didn’t take advantage of the breakfast because the staff said they didn’t offer fat-​free milk. I had a kitchen, though, so I hit up the grocer next door and fed myself three tasty b’fasts for $ 15, with food to spare.
Where’s the fourth star? Renovations!

stayed there with my husband just to get out, it was clean because I really looked. The price was inexpensive, and it was quiet. We got delivery and relaxed.

2.5 stars
I think someone needs to be clear about what this is. The Days Inn Dover is a motel. It is not a hotel. Unless you are in one of the 10 rooms in the main building, you have a beautiful scenic view of the parking lot (if you are in the main building, your view is the indoor pool, which is also weird). The layout of the hotel is way sketchier than the actual rooms, which makes me think it was probably a disgusting motel retrofitted into a Days Inn. If you look on the hotel’s website, it shows only the main building– it almost feels like fraud. I’ll upload photos when I get home so you can judge for yourself. (EDIT: photos added)
The bathrooms are clean but old and very bare-​bones. A tiny bar of soap and a miniature bottle of shampoo. That’s it. No conditioner, no body wash, no hand lotion, etc. When we checked in, there were like 10 squares left on the toilet paper roll, with an extra roll left for us on the shelf, basically saying «here, do it yourself». Also our bathroom door didn’t close– so if you’re not married to the person you’re rooming with it might get kind of awkward.
The room itself is small, with no closet (just a closet rod by the bathroom) and no overhead light (just 3 small lamps). This would be fine, except if you open the window blinds you are making yourself VERY public. So most hours of the day it feels pretty dark. Our bed squeaked A LOT but was pretty comfortable otherwise
The walls are paper thin– you can hear anything going on outside, especially the train that passes through town.
They seem to have made an effort to make the hotel a little classy. Digital TV, decent free breakfast, clean rooms. That and the amazing location are the only things this place has going for it. That being said, it does have those things, it just needs a little fixing up (and maybe an enclosing building for the majority of the rooms).
I think if I had to stay in Dover again, this place is worth the price. You can walk to everything and it’s around $ 80/​night, so even if the room was nothing but a bed and a toilet it would pretty much serve its purpose. However, I’m not sure if it would be worth it for most people– if you will be driving a lot or aren’t here just to spend time in Dover, find something nicer off the highway.
Oh, and to the other reviewer that said she got to breakfast on the late side so the coffee was cold and there was no selection– it wasn’t the time you got there that was the problem. It was the same way at 7:30

My boyfriend’s band was playing a show at the Brickhouse in Dover this past weekend and we decided instead of battling sleep on a long ride back to Southie after the set, we’d stay and enjoy ourselves. At 80 dollars a room and this central location, you really can’t beat the convenience. Was it the nicest room I’ve ever stayed in? Not really. Was it perfect for one night? Absolutely.
Another reason why this place soars to 4 stars is because of the bed. Holy crap. Its really really comfortable. Our King sized bed had us rested and off to Vermont by the next morning. The pillows are amazing, the linens are nice (minus the grandma-​esque comforter) and the mattress had a pillow top that made me wanna stay in bed past the 11 AM check out time.
I doubt this will be the last Brickhouse show, and I doubt this will be the last time we get a room at the Days Inn in downtown Dover.

This past weekend I stayed at this fine hotel. Located in downtown Dover, this Days Inn offers a convenient location, an indoor pool and hot tub, plenty of parking and friendly staff.
My husband and I were there for two nights. We checked in late on Thursday evening and were greeted by courteous, friendly staff.
The room we stayed in was clean, neat and smelled lovely. The bathroom was also clean and there was excellent pressure in the shower.
The location was fantastic. Since the hotel is located in the center of downtown Dover we were able to walk to restaurants, bars and shops. I really appreciated that.
The ONLY downfall I see to this hotel is the continental breakfast. Offered from 6am — 10am, I found that by 8:45am when we got there the selection was pretty weak and the coffee was lukewarm. Other than that I would absolutely stay there again!
